“…The desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria Forsk, (Orthoptera: Acrididae), is a typ-ical African species considered as the most notorious insects in the world and has the largest geographical distribution spreading over 30 countries (Wilps, 1997;Song, 2004). The peculiarity of Schistocerca gregaria is that it exhibits phenotypic plasticity called density-dependent phase polyphenism in which local population density affects the expression of a variety of behavioral, physiological, biochemical, molecular, reproductive, and morphological traits (Cabej, 2019). While in solitarious phase desert locust is coloured, shy and avoids one another.…”

“…While in solitarious phase desert locust is coloured, shy and avoids one another. Gregarious phase starts with an increased density of surrounding conspecific population thereby forming large groups and mass migrations, travelling as marching band of flightless juveniles or vast flying swarms of winged adults (Simpson & Sword, 2009;Cabej, 2019). A single locust swarm can contain billions of insects (Cressman, 2013;Topaz et al, 2012).…”

The desert locust has been recognized as the most devastating migratory pest in the world. Swarms of this pest have been threatening vast regions of pastures and crops in Africa, Middle East, and South Asia. The biological management of expanding swarms has become a strategy of particular interest due to environmental awareness and economic issues associated with chemical pesticides. The present review aims to explore the latest updates and information about pesticidal plants that are distributed across Africa. Searches on Web of Science, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus databases from 2013–2024 revealed a total of 22 plant species probed for insecticidal activities against desert locusts. The formulation, active ingredients, and biological effects of essential oils and other extracts from these plants are presented. Despite the promising anti‐insecticidal effects of the plant extracts and compounds, issues related to their solubility and instability under environmental conditions have been observed. To address such major quality defects, methods for the encapsulation of plant natural products within nanostructures are detailed. Given the presence of bioactive compounds with nucleophiles bearing functional groups, the reported plant extracts have been exploited to fabricate metal nanoparticles with inherent insecticidal activities. In this paper, a holistic overview of prepared phytochemical‐coated metal nanopesticides is also presented. In summary, this study offers insights into the integration of nanoformulated natural resources as a more sustainable option to control desert locust invasions.

All authors contributed critically to the drafts and gave final approval for publication. 25 MSK designed the experiment, co-executed the experimental work with TD, co-shaped and co-26 optimised the analysis with OYB, co-built the illustrations with TD, and expanded the manuscript 27 and improved the visualisation. 28 TD executed the experimental work with MSK, did the data entry in collaboration with MSK, 29 provided the first drafts of this manuscript with illustrations, produced the bibliography. TD co-30 wrote the manuscript with MSK. 31 OYB contributed to the enhancement of the experimental design, accomplished the analysis with 32 MSK, provided insights on the refinement and polishing of the visualisation and contributed to the 33 writing up and enhancement of the manuscript. 34 SW hosted the work, provided suggestions for the optimisation of the experimental design and 35 contributed to the enhancement of the writing up of the manuscript. 36 37 38 39 2 Abstract 40Non-consumptive effect of predation is a well-researched subject of which certain temporal, non-41 consumptive and predator-mimetic facets are yet to be investigated in plant-parasite systems. Here 42 we focus on the consequences of the exposure of a pest population to predator-associated risk. 43 One clone of the green peach aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer), raised on a model crop Brassica 44 oleracea (L.), was exposed to different regimes of risks associated with the aphidophagous predator 45 ladybird Coccinella septempunctata (L.). This encompassed consumption, consumption alternated 46 by non-competitive predation risk, presence of isolated predators with and without aphid feed, dead 47 59 60
